It is a mid engine.

I stand corrected.

Don't forget about the Corvair, also Mid-engine -ish.

The original prototype was mid engined, but then it was moved to the rear.

Who would ever buy a rear engined car? Oh wait....

Was in HS and working in a small town Chevy and Pontiac dealership when the Fiero came out. They were exotic by comparison to other cars then. I remember driving one a bit and how enormous the center console seemed. Also recall how someone saying their construction was so robust that a Fiero would "drive right through most cars" in a T-bone accident as well as the Fiero IMSA efforts.

Would have done better to remember all of my school work that well.

My dad was looking for something interesting, and drove one of the 6 cyl models. He wasn't a fan. He ended up with a corvette instead.

I thought of that too, but looked it up and most of what I read indicated that they were rear engined.
